Houston Jewelry
Texas's urban center, Houston is a vivacious industrial and cultural hub. Although it is soaked in southern charm, Houston is also a modern international metropolis. With its bustling port, Houston is a leader in manufacturing and industry as well as in oil and natural gas energies, aeronautics, biotechnology and health care. It is also home to NASA's Johnson Space Center and the Texas Medical Center, the world's largest health care and research institution. This flat and sprawling city is populated by highly diverse cultures and immigrant communities, and is known for its friendly and hospitable attitude. Houstonians you may have heard of include blues musician Lightenin' Hopkins, pop singer Hilary Duff, and actor Patrick Swayze. Although the humid subtropical weather makes Houston sticky in the summer, escape the heat at the city's vibrant Theater District where you can catch a first-rate play, see a concert, or grab a bite at a top-notch gourmet restaurant. You can also catch a blast of fresh air in one of the many museums that dot the Museum District, or at any number of sporting games.
Houston's Galleria is not only the city's hottest shopping district, but an architectural and commercial landmark as well. The Galleria has an excellent range of jewelry and diamond shops that offer an unbeatable selection of wedding rings, engagement rings, diamond hoop earrings, pearl jewelry and precious gemstones. The Kirby District is another must for any serious upscale shopper. It includes Highland Village Shopping Center, one of the biggest shopping centers in Houston, and features fine jewelry boutiques and designer showrooms without the fanfare. Downtown, Uptown, and Southwest Houston also abound in diamond and jewelry retailers. The classy Theater District and the Skyline District are both terrific destinations for those in the market for gold, silver and platinum jewelry.
